Is there a pest controller in the house?
« on: 14 July 2007, 07:50:55 »
I've got ants in the cavity walls, and have had to put sellotape along the edge of the carpet to stop the little b*gg**s getting into the house.

There is a white powder stuff you can buy B&Q, that you can put down I had them getting in the house, they were coming from outside, put the stuff down and never had any problems since, probably need to find out where they are going in and coming out of the wall :y

Every year I buy tons of the stuff, it looks like it's been snowing around my house, but still they get into the cavity >:(

Theres this crack spray that I bought in Thailand for the house out there as ants are a real f****n pain out there evreywhere, but bought that stuff sprayed on all the bottom edges of the outside of the house and the kitchen as they invaded that, stopped them all in their tracks, and it lasts for quite a while and keeps them at bay, but doubt you would get that stuff here :-/

Being an organic gardener (quiet in the cheap seats!) there are lots of great ways to kill bugs without chemicals.  Agreed they arent as fast but just as effective, try these:

ants - semolina powder (the workers take it back for the queen and she cant digest it.  Eventually she goes pop and the nest dies naturally... ahh!
Slugs - beer in a container, drown those f****rs
mice/rats - orange peel.  They hate the stuff!
cats & feathered birds - .22 just about does it!

You could try ringing the council - we had carpet moths under the telly in the dinning room.  Upon recommendation of friends (turns out these moths are surprising common - I'd never heard of them before) we rang the council. Nice bloke came round, sprayed around the edges of the downstairs rooms (the areas normally covered by furniture that probably only gets moved once every year or so), problem solved.  I think it cost £25 or so.

Dip them in batter, then fry them, I don't eat them, but it doesn't do them any good.
